Control of our news sources by monopoly corporations
has an enormous impact on the kind of information most people
in the United States receive. Every day we get our impression
of what's going on at home and abroad from sources whose primary
concern is to make a profit.

Most
people wouldn't seek out Ford or GM as the best sources to consult
about auto safety or the electronics industry about industrial
waste. But too many rely on the same capitalist interests for
their news. As a result, they get a picture of world and national
events that serves the interests of the tiny ruling class that
owns and controls the means of life.

The
People , the Socialist Labor Party's monthly journal,
serves class interests, too—working-class interests. Strikes,
unemployment trends, international affairs, the environment—you'll
find them discussed in The People from the workers'
point of view. In fact, The People has been the workers'
advocate since 1891.

These
are some of the reasons why working people should read The
People.
